Apart from the size of the court, there are little bit differences also in the rules of beach volleyball. The players are allowed to cross under the net to hit the ball. As the game is played at the beach, therefore the uniform of the players are quit different from that of the player of indoor volleyball game. Bathing suits, tank tops, short or many other beach attires are worn by the player while playing the beach volleyball.
